Kerkstraat 14

Welcome to Kerkstraat 14, a truly unique home in the heart of Haarlem’s historic city centre. This remarkable property is a listed national monument (Rijksmonument) and is full of history, atmosphere and character. The origins of the building date back centuries, most likely to around the time when the nearby Nieuwe Kerk was built. A home with a story, yet at the same time a wonderful place for comfortable modern-day living.

The moment you step inside, you immediately notice that this is no ordinary home. The spacious living room features a beautiful high ceiling, which, together with the property’s characteristic details, creates a wonderful sense of space and atmosphere.

The spacious kitchen is a lovely place for cooking, dining or enjoying drinks with friends. It features underfloor heating and a range of built-in appliances, including two ovens, one of which is a combination oven, a Quooker, dishwasher and a large fridge with freezer compartment. The washing machine connection is also located here.

On the other side of the property is another pleasant room, currently used as a home office but equally suitable as a dining room. Above this space, a mezzanine has been created, providing additional space while adding to the unique character of the home.

The luxurious bathroom is comfortably fitted with a spacious walk-in shower, double washbasin and mechanical ventilation. There is also a separate toilet.

The top floor offers two bedrooms and access to the spacious south-west facing balcony. A wonderful spot to sit outside at the end of the day and enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

The location makes this home even more special. You live right in the centre of Haarlem, yet on a quiet, low-traffic street. Step outside and Haarlem’s inviting terraces, restaurants, shops, museums and historic streets are practically on your doorstep. Both the Botermarkt and Grote Markt are just a short walk away. Here, you can enjoy everything the city has to offer while coming home to a wonderfully peaceful and distinctive place.
